Promenade (2024)
Promenade for guitar and percussion explores the idea of instruments moving along together at several different speeds. The first movement, Perambulation, has the players perambulating, or strolling. The second movement is an Interlude, with free rubato and conversational tempo, and the third movement is a presto Perpetual Motion, with a nod to French composer Claude Bolling.
